About the practice
Badami Bags is founded by Amruta Ponkshe, a sustainability professional, mom and an artist. Badami Bags was founded to bring some much needed color, patterns and textile richness to the climbing gym and the crag- where otherwise you'd find gear in three colors- black, blue and gray. A lot of upholstery samples end up in the landfill once their production cycles are over. To stop these beautiful, sturdy materials from become landfill fodder and create sturdy bags from them requires a lot of patience and efforts. As a small, home- based studio in Central Texas working on this, Badami Bags' commitment is to our customers and to the planet. We create unique, robust but quirky Bags that will last a long time. We create micro batches of chalk bags, totes and slings and use materials like upcycled tents and umbrella covers to make our bags water proof.
